"Fall" Attire

"Fall" Attire

A Poem by Pete
"

It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear. - Thoreau

"
Adam, Eve, and the Serpent: Sistine Chapel Detail
Michaelangelo - Sistine Chapel, Vatican

i went looking for truth
i found it
hidden in a garden
underneath some fig thongs
covering insubordinate wrongs

"why are you hiding here?", i asked
the response came, "i'm outcast"
"do you know the weather forecast?", it went on to ask
"no", i screamed as i turned back and got away from it real fast

despite being dressed appropriately for a chilly season
an occasion of treason


for no particular reason

A fitting description with some humour on the story of the garden with our original naked state. I like how you question faiths and traditions to arrive at some conclusions. Kudos...
